VI. P. GOVERNMENTAL the session of
the NJ. P Church Conference, at Easton,
Md, yesterday, the committee on confer
ence entertainment reported resolution
lhat the next annual Maryland Conference
Of the NJ. p Church be held in Broadway
Church, Baltimore. and that each charge
furnish entertainment for its pastor and del
egate. To this report the delegate from
this city, Mr. j. R. Cation, found objection,
aud stated that conference ought TO accept
the Invitations from various churches. He
claimed that if the free entertainment sys-
TEN be abolished all the conferences will be
held in Baltimore. aud that the smaller
charges will never know what sort of con-
;ereace this is, and that it will also be re
sponsible for the absence of many of the
delegates Of the poorer churches. The sub.
iect was laid on the table. The conference
decided to hold its next annual conference
At Broadway Church. Baltimore commenc.
Jog ca the first Monday in April, 1883.

which was published in Thursdays REG
IsTER. Mr.. Pugh amended the bill for
the protection of game, fish, &c, by pro-
hibiting the use of seines in catching fish,
instead of GHOriHg their use, a. the report
has it.
Mr.. Woods was also inaccurately re-
ported in his remarks on the Public Health

ticing medicine without having first OBJ

for practicing after a revocation of a GER

The Death of Miss Carrie Brown.


A large and sympathizing audience
attended the funeral services Of Miss Carrie
Brown, at the residence of her father,
John ]. Brown, Esq, on Sunday last.
No occurrence has so filled this commu-
nity with sadness as this bereavement.
Miss Brown was q lady of no ordinary ex-
celleneies of character. A Christian Of a
high ideal as well as Of a clear experience,
of sterling integrity, she endeared herself
70 a large circle Of friends.
But for the mysterious mental allment
that brought her life to so mourrful an
end, her personal graees and attachments
would have qualified her for a high place
in society. The serene countenance that
lay in her coffin warrants the belief that
she has entered the portals of that city
where the weary are forever at rest.

NEM INSANE ASYLUM.

The question of building a new asylum
for the insane is one that the Legislature
will find no little difficulty in deciding.
Several localities are asking for the asy-
lum, each presenting claims more or less
strong.
By some, it is recommended that an adj
dition he made TO the building ut Weston.
And indeed there are strong points in its
favor.
BY building some of the wings higher
and making other additions, the cost would
be many thousand dollars less than erect
ing a new asylum elsewhere. This would
accommodate all the patients for a number
of years to come.
Then the annual cost of running one in
stitutiOn accommodating all the insane
would be much less than running two,
each caring for half. We would have but
one set of officers TO pay instead OF two,
and but one corps of physicians, instead of
two, and expense would be saved in
various other ways.
1t is not 4 good plan for a young State
like West Virginia, that is not very
wealthy, 10 spread itself over too much
ground. IL casts money to run an asy-
lum andmueh more to run two. The State
is not running one right, owing to the
meagerneSs of its appropriations. What
would it do with two?
In the Weston asylum q good deal of
money needs to be spent in improving and
furnishing the buildings and identifying
the grounds, making the place attractive
and hOme-like, rather than uniayiting,
gloomy and jaillike. To keep patients in
rooms poorly furnished and dreary, with
insane TO be heard and seen on every hand,
is little better than leaving them in county
jails.
There also needs to be much more
money spent for medical help. Four or
five physicians at Weston, among seven
hundred patients, have time to do little or
nothing more than to prescribe for their
physical ailments, such rs collie, headache
and the like Let them do their best,
they are kept too busy to devote much
attention to diseases of the mind. Under
such circumstances ~ these, if an insane
person regains his mental powers, it is be-
cause he has done s. in spite of the ne
elect of the State. Weston needs more
physicians, men that are experts in dis
eases of the mind. To have such, good
salaries must be paid. First-elaSs physie-
ians will not likely work for fourth-rate
pay.
Would it not be better, for the unfOrtu-
nate insane of the State, to expend the
money in making the Weston Asylum
what it should be, rather thin build
another asylum and allow the insane to be
improperly cared for in each? OF course
there are certain sections of the State that
are anxious to have a new asylum built
in their midst. This is natural and we
find no fault with them for this. But we
always have had an ideS that IN asylum is
built for thSbeneft Of the insane, rather
than for any special locality.
We have no AK to grind, aud merely

A LITTLE TOO MUCH ENCITED,

A LITTLE TOO MUCH ENCIrED.
The Democrats have had enough kicking
in their own ranks to feel relieved at any
little diversion that happens on the out
side. The TRADE of the Senator from
Richie furnishes as much entertainment
for its readers as it furnished pleasure to
the ore who delivered it.
Mr.. MORRIS says that "the great throb-
bling heart OF the people is aroused rs 1t
never has been before since the war over
the trend the Senatorial question has
taken. Had the great throbbing heart Of
the people" beat in unison with that OF
the Senator from Richie, when he had
worked himself up to q fever heat like the
mountains that were once in labor to bring
forth an insignificant mouse, it might have
been so. But ?. VS. heart is not 1.-THE
great throbbing heart OF the people" The
''great ~thrObbing heart of the people
seemstO be aroused in fayoro of Senator CAM
DEN'S reelection, ii We are TO judge any
thing from what we see and hear around
us.
Mr.. MORRIS so far forgot himself rs ia
make the general charge of political cor
ruptiOn and dishonesty against the friends
of Senator CAMDEN, both Democrats and
Republicans. The Senator must kno"
must know That he calls in question the
honor of many men who are above re-
preach, men whose lives have always been
pure and upright. Such talk is puerile
and i'll becomes a man who aSpireS to lead
his party.
Yet those aimed at by Mr.. NORRIS
words know that this is his failing aud

THAT little scheme Of the Republican
politicians Of our city to increase the num-
Der of wards by forming another from the
Sixth and Eighth wards, in order to in
crease their majority in Council, looks very
bad for persons who have been so loud in
their professions of nOn-partisanShiP in
municipal government. ftheafairs otthe
city could be managed better by such a
change, of course it would be all right for it
to be made. But thenit looks like the people
of the Sixth and Eighth wards ought to
have some voice in the matter. Asyet the
Republican politicians are the only ones
who are interested.
This is a new kind of nOn-partisan mu-
nicipal efOrm-eyerything the Republicans
can get by law and an attempt to change
the city charter so they can get more.

Taylor" the Enquirer's correspondent
at Athens, is out in another colump.and-
a.half article about Judge Wilson. The
Gazette had the kindness to publish the
report of committee that pretended to
have investigated the Probate Court of
Athens county, in its last issue. That
committee merely stated that certain
things were so, without offering a single
proof. They denied the truth of
"Taylor's" charges, without furnishing
a line of data.
The irrepressible Taylor" also made
an investigation of the Probate office
and obtained some results I! He pub.
fishes Judge Wilson's own cost bills, proves
from them that the committee couldnt
figure title bit, shows exactly where
Implications, overcharges and illegal
charges occur, and makes some remarks
about the way business is conducted.
OF course this has nothing to do with
our Probate Office, but ''Taylor's" first
sally suggested our article last week, and
our Probate Judge can not screen him
self by denying the truth of all "Taylor's'
| charges
